Chapter 485
Towering majestically, resplendent in gold, magnificent and grand.
"Phew~"
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void.
The figure of Wuji Heavenly Venerable emerged from the void.
"Father!"
Inside the hall, a tall, handsome young man stepped forward, bowed, and said with delight, "You're back!"
"Hmm, my son is doing well in his cultivation."
Wuji Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
"Father, there are rumors that the Child of the Stars will appear in this era. Is that true?"
The young man was Wushang Wu Shang, the eldest son of Wuji Heavenly Venerable, and he spoke with anticipation in his eyes.
"Child of the Stars? That's just a baseless rumor. Don't take it to heart. You need to focus on your cultivation and break through to the Immortal Venerable realm as soon as possible!"
Wuji Heavenly Venerable waved his hand, not taking the matter of the Child of the Stars to heart.
"But the prophecy says that the Child of the Stars is the ultimate being who will make all beings eternal. If his birth is truly imminent, we must take action!"
Wushang asked anxiously.
"What prophecy? It's just a rumor!"
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable's expression changed slightly. He stared at Wushang for a moment, then slowly said, "Have you heard some rumors and are you fantasizing about becoming the Child of the Stars?"
"No, Father, what are you thinking?"
Wushang resolutely rejected the idea.
"You'd better not..." Wuji Heavenly Venerable's expression softened, and he sighed, "With the great calamity imminent, I need to concentrate on dealing with the remnants of the Mountain and Sea Rebellion. Don't cause me any trouble!"
Wushang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"How?"
Upon seeing this, Wuji Heavenly Venerable raised an eyebrow.
Wushang gritted her teeth and said, "Father, rumors are circulating that a peerless genius has emerged in the Longevity Heaven Realm. She has already become an Immortal King in less than ten thousand years of cultivation. Some say that she possesses the Immortal Sealing Scroll and is the 'protagonist' of this era, as well as the 'Child of the Stars'..."
"You still can't forget it!"
Wuji Heavenly Venerable completely ignored the Wushang in Wushang's words, shook his head and sighed softly, "Indeed, it was I who harmed you. Non-Self hadn't used the origin of the stars to empower you back then, you wouldn't have comprehended the Way of Stars, nor would you have developed such delusions."
"In any case, the Child of the Stars' is just a rumor. Don't worry about any geniuses from the Longevity Heaven Realm. Just focus on your cultivation. After I help you break through to the Immortal Venerable level, I will arrange your next steps."
"For the next period of time, you should not wander around. Just stay in Wuji Heaven and cultivate in peace."
Wushang nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Father, could I meditate on your Chaos Wuji Immortal Mirror for a while? Lately, I've felt my mind is unstable and I can't concentrate..."
"Of course, no problem. It's rare for my son to be so serious about cultivation. Take it!"
Wuji Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, then waved his sleeve, and a palm-sized mirror flew out from his sleeve and landed towards Wushang.
Suddenly, a small mirror shimmering with dazzling silver light appeared before Wushang. The mirror was round, about the size of a palm, and its back was engraved with ancient runes. In the shadows, one could seem to glimpse a vast starry sky.
"Thank you, Father!"
Wushang was extremely excited. He quickly put away the Chaos Wuji Immortal Mirror and then took his leave.
"Alas, my son's obsession..."
Watching Wushang leave, Wuji Heavenly Venerable shook his head, his eyes flickering, his expression complex.
"Someone come here!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
A dark figure materialized from the void.
"Stay with Shang'er, protect his safety, and report to me immediately if necessary."
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable gave the order.
The shadowy figure did not respond, then transformed into black smoke and merged into the void, disappearing into the distance in no time.
576. The Giant Dead Star
Outside the Wuji Heaven Palace.
After leaving the Heavenly Palace, Wushang rushed straight out of the Wuji Heaven Realm and arrived at the Great Void, where he landed on a small asteroid.
The next moment.
A woman's figure emerged from the void, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, a mature and elegant temperament, and an aura of gentleness that inspired trust and reliance in those around her.
"Wushang, what did your uncle say?" The woman looked at Wushang, her gentle tone tinged with anxiety, and asked, "Did he agree to help?"
"No."
Wushang looked troubled and shook his head, saying, "Father doesn't believe the prophecies of the Child of the Stars, and he doesn't seem to care about these matters at all. If we want to seize the Immortal Sealing Scroll, we may have to rely on ourselves!"
"It's alright!"
The woman smiled gently and comforted him, "We all believe that you are the true Child of the Stars. As long as we eliminate that imposter and obtain the Immortal Sealing Scroll, your uncle will know that only you, his son, are the most outstanding and talented person of this era!"
"Um!"
Wushang nodded vigorously, a hint of emotion appearing in his eyes. Growing up, his father didn't understand him. Their relationship was more like that of a superior and subordinate, with only occasional words of encouragement and no real care. But this older sister was different. She believed in him, encouraged him, and supported him!
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will not let Father down!"
Taking a deep breath, Wushang's gaze was firm.
The woman nodded and said softly, "Cultivation isn't something to rush; don't overwork yourself."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pulled Wushang into her arms.
Wushang was tall and imposing, towering a full forearm above the woman, but at this moment he looked like a child being held in his mother's arms, with a reassuring smile on his face.
After a long while, Wushang released the woman.
"Sister, have you heard anything about that imposter?"
"There has been some progress." The woman nodded, then pondered for a moment before whispering, "There's news that she joined the pioneering team of the Longevity Heaven Realm and went to the Outer Deep Space ... But recently the pioneering team returned ahead of schedule, but she didn't come back with them... It's possible she has already perished in the Outer Deep Space ..."
Upon hearing this, Wushang paused, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
The woman frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
"How could an extraordinary person die an ordinary death? Moreover, since she has mastered the Star Dao, I know that even the Outer Deep Space cannot bury her; in fact, it is an opportunity!"
Wushang's eyes shone brightly, and he said decisively, "This person is definitely not dead!"
"I will find her, eliminate her, and prove that I am the Child of the Stars in language!"
"All right..."
Hearing this, the woman nodded and advised, "Remember, you must protect yourself and don't be reckless!"
"Don't worry, sister, Wushang understand." Wushang Shang grinned, revealing eight perfectly white teeth, dazzlingly bright. "I borrowed Father's Chaos Wuji Immortal Mirror, and slaying a mere Immortal King was a piece of cake!"
"Remember, never act rashly!"
The woman's expression remained worried. "I heard that imposter also possesses an extraordinary magical artifact, possibly even Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure. To have cultivated to such a level at such a young age, he must have something extraordinary about him..."
"Sister, don't worry. She has other trump cards, but don't I? Just wait for my good news!"
Wushang smiled confidently, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared from the spot.
"Well!"
Watching Wushang leave, the woman couldn't help but sigh softly, her expression complex.
In the chaotic and void-filled Outer Deep Space.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared, piercing through the layers of darkness like a streak of light.
This streak of light traveled through the Outer Deep Space at an incredible speed, without stopping, and always heading towards the area where the Void Storm was located.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, the radiance vanished, transforming into a gigantic scroll that unfolded and spread out, enveloping everything within a ten-thousand-foot radius.
On the scroll, countless intricate and mysterious patterns intertwine, like the myriad stars in the sky, forming a wondrous scene.
It was as if this were a real universe, encompassing all things and embracing everything in the world.
"Splash~"
Immediately afterwards, the scroll shook.
Instantly.
Endless starlight burst forth, enveloping the entire Void Storm, like a giant wave sweeping across and completely swallowing it up.
In an instant, the storm subsided, and everything returned to calm.
A glimmer of light appeared, transforming into a slender and exquisitely beautiful figure. She stepped out, surrounded by countless stars, dazzling and ethereal, transcending the mundane world.
The woman wore a gold and red dress, her long black hair flowed freely, her skin was as white as snow, her face was stunningly beautiful, aloof and elegant, noble and majestic, like a star empress descending, stunning the heavens and dominating the universe!
It was none other than Xiao Minghuang.
All I saw was...
She gently raised her slender hand, and a ball of pure white light appeared on her jade palm.
The next moment.
Xiao Minghuang gently grasped it, and the ball of light shattered in two, flowing into her body like water.
Instantly.
Her breath rose slightly.
"Finally... the five thousand tribulations have passed..."
Xiao Minghuang's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
After leaving the New Shanhai Realm, she sent Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King back to their asteroid home.
After this change, they lost interest in continuing their pioneering work and hurriedly returned to space.
Xiao Minghuang stayed behind, absorbing the Dead Star in the Outer Deep Space to improve her cultivation.
But.
She wasn't left alone.
After experiencing the calamity of the Great Jin Chang Immortal King's attack on the Ziwei Star Domain, she was always worried about leaving Ye Ruoshui and the other five women at home.
Therefore.
She did not send the five women back to the Ziwei Star Domain, but instead took them with her.
After all.
She had recently killed a veteran immortal from the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas, thus seriously offending this ancient power.
Therefore, Xiao Minghuang feared that if the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas tracked her down, and she sent Ye Ruoshui and the other five women back to the Ziwei Star Domain, there was no guarantee that the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas wouldn't capture the five women and use them as leverage.
Therefore, keeping the five women by her side and never letting them out of her sight is the wisest decision.
As for what would happen if she herself fell into the hands of the enemy...
At least then, they could share life and death.
Moreover, since she is in the Outer Deep Space realm, even a Celestial Venerable cannot monitor her situation at all times. She can continuously absorb the Dead Star to improve her cultivation. As long as she can raise her realm to Celestial Venerable as soon as possible, she will not be afraid even if Celestial Venerables from Eight Mountains and Nine Seas come to kill her!
"During this period, I absorbed approximately thirteen medium-sized Dead Star and hundreds of small Dead Star, raising my cultivation level from four thousand tribulations to five thousand tribulations..."
